The Little Town In Rhode Island That Might Just Be The Most Unique Town In The World

While lovely towns and cities are scattered across Little Rhody, many locals would agree that the truly unique places are the small villages found in often overlooked areas. Seeing as there simply aren't that many towns to choose from to begin with, it comes as no surprise that small pockets of amazing boutiques, restaurants, and unique attractions would spring forward in the shape of wonderful villages. One in particular has gained popularity for it's charming culture and unique history.

Pawtuxet Village is found between the cities of Warwick and Cranston where the Pawtuxet River flows into the Providence River and Narragansett Bay.

The town gains its name from the series of small waterfalls viewable from the heart of the village. "Pawtuxet" means Little Falls in the language used by the natives of this section of the state.

The center of the village features wonderful cafes, restaurants, small shops, ice cream parlors, and so much more!

Most locals would agree the very best part of the village is the nearby park boasting some of the loveliest views in the state.

The village is historically significant for other reasons. It is near the site of the infamous burning of the British War ship known as HMS Gaspee.

This event is still commemorated each year during Gaspee Day celebrations, when the village welcomes thousands of spectators for its popular parade.
